  • FOR SALE: Nearly 300 Justice Owned Properties Are Being Auctioned Off This Week

    Auctions Come After Justice and His Companies Failed to Pay Almost $400,000 in West Virginia Property Taxes 

    Over the next three days, across Raleigh, McDowell, and Wyoming counties, nearly 300 lots of land owned by Jim Justice and his affiliated companies will be for sale at public auctions after Justice and his businesses failed to pay almost $400,000 in delinquent property taxes.

    “This week, Jim Justice’s failure to pay his taxes – which fund West Virginia’s teachers, police officers, and firefighters — will be taking center stage in the GOP’s ‘bruising intraparty’ fight,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Amanda Sherman Baity. 

    Justice’s delinquency on his property tax payments — which are “critical” in funding police, infrastructure, libraries, parks, public safety and schools across West Virginia — is already intensifying in West Virginia Republicans “messy,” “costly,” and “bruising intraparty” primary “fight” with Mooney recently calling Justice a “deadbeat.”

    And every gift you give the DSCC is a gift that helps propel Democratic Senate candidates to victory.
